That day, a group of Henry's compeers gather triumphantly at the scene of his victory. It was a great occasion. One man had stood up alone before the forces of Authority, and had escaped not only unchastened, but with vast quantities of jelly at his complete disposal. They voted that October 15 should be declared Henry Fordyce, Jr. Day unto all perpetuity. They drank a toast to him with the two beverages permitted by contract at lunch.

The scene: a sports banquet at Manhattan's Hotel Astor. When M.C. Ralph ("Happy") Edwards advanced on Correspondent and World Traveler Lowell Thomas with the familiar, savagely cheerful cry ("This is your life"), Thomas simply refused to play.
